" I have only heard of one other case of someone being allergic to fresh fruits. She said they made her throat swell and made her itch. We went with her in her SUV to Arizona and while there, someone gave us two boxes of homegrown fruit, lemons and tangelos.
We didn't want to leave them, so we put them in the back of the SUV under our luggage and did the 14 hour trip home. When we got to our house, we were unloading and she saw the two boxes and suspiciously said, what is that? We told her it was lemons and tangelos and she said, it's a good thing I didn't know they were there!

I know that doesn't help you much, but the thing is, I think many allergies are caused by trauma. When I met my hubby, he told me he was allergic to several foods. I told him, oh, ok. And I slowly began to introduce him to those foods, and he was able to eat all of them. The only one he has refused to even try is shrimp. All the other foods that gave him headaches and other symptoms no longer bother him.

Have you ever heard of Louise Hay? Her book, You Can Heal Your Life, is groundbreaking and innovative. She believes that all diseases and conditions are caused by emotional thought patterns that can be changed by changing to a different thought pattern.

For allergies, her affirmation is,

The world is safe and friendly. I am safe. I am at peace with life.

I believe in allergies. I also believe we have the power to eliminate them, by changing our thoughts. "
